Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de nettoyage qui utilise un solvant de nettoyage organique et un solvant liquide sous pression. Le système ne présente aucun cycle de séchage à air chaud par évaporation classique. En revanche, il utilise la solubilité du solvant organique dans un solvant liquide sous pression ainsi que les propriétés physiques du solvant liquide sous pression. Après un cycle de nettoyage au solvant organique, on extrait à grande vitesse le solvant du textile dans un tambour tournant (112, 122) de la même manière que les solvants classiques dans des machines de nettoyage à sec à air chaud par évaporation classiques. En lieu et place d'un cycle de séchage classique, les textiles extraits sont ensuite trempés dans un solvant liquide sous pression pour en extraire le solvant organique résiduel, puisque le solvant organique est soluble dans le solvant liquide sous pression. Une fois les textiles trempés dans le solvant liquide sous pression, celui-ci est pompé à partir du tambour (112, 122). Enfin, le tambour est mis en dépression à la pression atmosphérique afin que le solvant liquide sous pression résiduel puisse s'évaporer, rendant les textiles propres, exempts de solvant. De préférence, on choisit le solvant organique dans les terpènes, les halohydrocarbures, certains éthers de glycol, des polyols, des éthers, des esters d'éthers de glycol, des esters d'acides gras et d'autres acides carboxyliques à chaîne longue, des alcools gras et d'autres alcools à chaîne longue, des alcools à chaîne courte, des solvants aprotiques polaires, des siloxanes, des hydrofluoroéthers, des esters dibasiques, des solvants à base d'hydrocarbures aliphatiques ou analogues ou des mélanges de tels solvants, le solvant liquide sous pression étant de préférence du dioxyde de carbone densifié.

Abstract: Cette invention décrit un procédé (200) et un système permettant de vérifier la liaison entre une clé publique et l'identité d'un serveur telle que déclarée dans le certificat du serveur, sans qu'il soit nécessaire de se fonder sur la fiabilité du certificat de base de la chaîne de certificat du serveur. Ce système établit une connexion de type SSL (201) entre un client et un serveur, lequel transmet au client l'information contenant la clé publique du serveur, au moment de l'établissement de la connexion. Ensuite, une première information est envoyée du client au serveur (202). Le client et le serveur créent une clé d'authentification identique, en utilisant un secret partagé connu du serveur et du client (203 et 204). Le serveur transmet ensuite au client (206) un premier message crypté, lequel contient la clé publique du serveur cryptée à l'aide de la clé d'authentification. Le client décrypte alors le premier message crypté et vérifie l'exactitude (207) de ce message, notamment en comparant la clé publique incluse dans le premier message crypté décrypté avec la clé publique transmise pendant l'établissement de la connexion de type SSL, afin d'authentifier le client et afin d'établir la fiabilité de la clé publique du serveur et, partant, de la connexion SSL dans son ensemble. Le client transmet alors au serveur (209) un second message crypté, qui est constitué par la première information cryptée à l'aide de la clé d'authentification. Enfin, le serveur décrypte le second message crypté et vérifie l'exactitude de ce second message crypté décrypté, pour authentifier le client (210).

Abstract: A modular mounting system which allows a circuit board to be removed, inserted or replaced through the front of the mounting frame without deactivating power to the equipment, and in the preferred embodiment without detaching any external cables. Connections for external equipment are disposed along the rear edge of the circuit board, and a row of contacts for the internal connections is provided along the bottom edge of the circuit board. The system of the invention provides a releasable connector which retracts the connector pins into a housing when a circuit board is inserted or removed, thus eliminating the possibility of a contact on the circuit board touching a live connector pin. In the preferred embodiment the external connections are made through adaptors that plug into external cable connectors provided on a connector plate detachably affixed to the rear of the mounting frame. In the preferred embodiment the invention provides an actuating mechanism for the releasable connector which must be actuated in order to remove a circuit board, thus ensuring that the connector pins have disengaged from the circuit board contacts before a circuit board is moved. The mounting system of the invention achieves a high packaging density for mounted devices and accommodates any input/output format. The invention also permits use of two or mare separate circuit boards for a device residing in the same compartment and connected by an interface, which allows circuit boards to be repaired or upgraded by replacing a portion of the device circuitry. The invention also provides a novel system for cooling the mounting frame, providing heat sink tunnels in the impeller airstream and affixing the most significant heat-generating components to the heat sink tunnels. The impeller draws an intake airstream through a low resistance path within the mounting frame to cool the circuit board components.
